::packs herself a lunch and walks down to the river all covertly::

::makes sure no one is around, takes off her shoes tentively and dips a toe in the river::

::finds the water extremely filthy and infected cold:: :S

*bounds up behind you, leaps off the bank and into the river*

*SPLASH*

Ohhhh yeah...that's good. Too damn hot today.

*doggie paddles*

*nods to you* Mornin'.

[lalaith_]

::sees you and smiles softly::

Oh, puppy.

::bl-inks when you TALK

...

...this water really IS infected. Is it too late to run for my life?

Excuse moi?

::chin wobble::

[houndofvalinor]

I said morning. Nice isn't it? Bit warm for my tastes but nice.

*paddle paddle*

[lalaith_]

::watches you paddle and rubs her eye::

::manages to nod a bit shakily::

You're talking. Are you sure you're supposed to be on four legs or have I lost it?

o_O

[houndofvalinor]

*clambers back up onto the bank*

*Doggy-shake!*

No, I'm supposed to be on four legs. And yeah, I talk. It's a perk of being a Hound of Valinor.

Huan, at your service but only if there's copious amounts of steak available for payment.

[lalaith_]

::gets lots of drops of water clinging to her that fly off of you as a result of that doggy-shake::

Ewwww! I'm going to get something like dogitus uncurablus!

::fishes out a wad of cleansing wipes from her small bag and tries to get rid of as much water as she possibly can::

Hound of Valinor? That sounds ...interesting. Are there more like you where you come from then?

[houndofvalinor]

Yeah, still padding around slavishly after Oromë, no doubt.

*notices your discomfort* Oh sorry. I forget what a mess I can make sometimes. But a good shake is just so damn SATISFYING.

[lalaith_]

::shakes her head, a bit embarrassed::

No, it's okay. I'm just a cat person and now I know why and I haven't really seen someone on four legs speak quite as eloquently as you do...no offence, of course!

[houndofvalinor]

Oh none taken. I can see how it would be jarring. I think I have a larger working vocabulary than a lot of elves.

Like Celegorm for instance. Bwuaha.

[lalaith_]

::scrunches her nose a little bit::

I like Turco! But hey, you are entitled to your opinion, I guess. Have you known him for a long time, then?

::adds in a whisper::

I'm a bit bad about everyone's history because I died very young in my past life. :\

[houndofvalinor]

Yeah, Orome gave me to him as a hunting dog way, way back. I went with him to Middle Earth after the Noldor revolt. I like him too but he's a bit of a daft bugger at times though. He was worse in the First Age though. His hair-brained schemes used to get people killed, now they just tend to get people drunk and/or embarrassed.

*flattens his ears back in classic sad!doggie style* I'm sorry to hear that. At least you're here now, right? Make up for lost time and all that. :)

[lalaith_]

::nods along to your little speech::

Noldor are a bit out there, aren't they? It kinda gets murky when they don't know what to invest their passion in. I should know, my brother married a Noldo! :]

::pats you gingerly, is not averse to admit that you are a pretty nice dog::

It happens, you know? I missed out on a lot of stuff. But I have promised myself to try everything at least ONCE this time around.

::points to her feet in the water::

That's one of those things. :]

[houndofvalinor]

*cocks his head to the side* Oh? Who's your brother?

*wags his tail*

Don't want to take the whole plunge then? Go on. The water's fine!

[lalaith_]

::beams::

My brother is Turin. You must know him, everyne says he grew up to be a great hero. :D

::looks at the water a bit suspiciously at your suggestion::

...it looks a bit murky...

[houndofvalinor]

Oh, yeah, I know him, he married Caranthire. She provides me with quality steak. :D

Are you kidding? This is the Blessed Realm, it's fine. Hell, the toilet water here is cleaner than a lot of the wells were in Middle Earth.

[lalaith_]

I don't have steak right now, only a salami sandwich. I wouldn't want to insult you with that.

::leans on the edge to look at the water more carefully::

It looks a bit too deep...I'm not sure if I'm a good enough swimmer...
